About this listen

An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Discover the story that garnered more than two million reads online.

Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate - and completely irresistible. A beautiful bastard.

Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative - completely infuriating - creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules - or outright smash them - if it means he can have her. All over the office.

As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other.

Originally only available online as The Office by tby789 - and garnering over two million reads on fan-fiction sites - Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for rerelease.

Sharp, sassy and very sexy. You want to be them, be loved by them and have their babies!

Loved the characters, the witty and spare writing, and the enviably hot sex. It’s a little bit of perfection that we all wish we had a piece of. I wish they would write more books like the Beautiful collection. They do sex very well, with passion and a big slice of humour.

Beautiful Bastard!!!

Having read Fifty Shades in it's heyday & being honestly a bit disappointed I was reluctant to read this but WOW, this was a good balance of girl power, a smouldering boss and imaginative sex scenes (although I did start to find these a little repetitive at the end - I was willing Bennett to do something different but still smoking).

The story was good, as with any love story it requires a make up and break up but I thought the reasoning behind the one in this book was a bit naff but still entertaining enough.

Overall, I loved the book and immediately downloaded Beautiful Bitch. I finished this in a day listening in my car, even sitting in the car park of my work for 20 minutes to get through the San Diego chapters.

I would love to see this made into a film.

Hot hot hot

Any additional comments?

Oh wow. This blew me away. From the first chapter to the very last chapter, I was hooked. Loved Bennett and Chloe's interactions. The sex scenes were hot hot hot. What a fantastic start to this series which I couldnt wait to get my teeth into.

Two writers - twice the quality

I loved it, it flew in my hands and I wanted to know the end without the book never ending.

No YA thank god but real grown ups with magnet chemistry.

one thing could improve the audiobook: A MALE VOICE.

my favourite book

I've ready this numerous times and listened to it twice. I absolutely love this book and it beats fifty shades on every level! I read this way before fifty shades and I honestly believe that this should have broken through instead
